The Marmara Hotel Budapest is absolutely perfect for travelers who value location and cleanliness. Right in the heart of the city, it's just a short walk from major attractions, making it incredibly convenient for exploring Budapest. The room was spotless—every surface sparkling, bedding fresh, and everything meticulously maintained. It’s clear the staff takes pride in their standards. With such an unbeatable central location and top-tier cleanliness, this hotel offers incredible value. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
I stayed at Leonardo Hotel Budapest and was really impressed! The location is great—taking a bus from the airport took about 55 minutes, and even though I arrived just after midnight, the area felt safe throughout the journey. Walking to the hotel was easy and secure. Upon check-in, they kindly offered a complimentary bottle of water—a small touch, but it made a big difference. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with a cozy bed that ensured a restful night’s sleep. It's also super convenient for getting around—just a short ride on the metro to reach downtown. Excellent value for money and a welcoming atmosphere. I’d definitely stay here again on my next trip to Budapest.
Staying at City Gardens Hotel & Wellness in Budapest was a pleasant surprise. The apartment was clean, well-organized, and offered plenty of space with all the essentials—kitchenware, a washing machine for laundry, and a comfortable bed. While the furniture showed some wear and tear, like chipped edges, it didn’t bother us much since we weren’t expecting luxury. The price point made sense given the condition, and we appreciated the practicality over fancy touches. One thing that stood out was the front foyer—it looked brand new, almost giving the impression that the rooms might be freshly renovated, though the apartments themselves felt a bit dated. Free secure luggage storage was a big plus, especially for travelers arriving early or departing late. The pool area was a highlight—serene, inviting, and a great way to unwind after exploring the city. Even the tiny balcony was useful: just enough space to sit or hang up laundry. The TV didn’t work—no power cord even—but with such a short stay and no need for entertainment, it wasn’t an issue. Overall, this place delivers solid value for money, ideal for guests who prioritize function, convenience, and a quiet base in central Budapest.
Staying at Vagabond Corvin was an absolute delight! The room was spacious and incredibly well-equipped—complete with kitchenware, utensils, a coffee machine, a comfortable sofa bed, and a large TV. Everything was spotless and fresh with no lingering odors, which made the stay feel very clean and welcoming. The huge refrigerator was a real plus, perfect for storing groceries or drinks. Just a quick reminder: please remember to take your trash down to the first-floor trash area before check-out—it’s simple but important for keeping the hotel tidy. Overall, this place offers fantastic value, especially if you enjoy self-catering and extra space. Located in a convenient spot near public transit, it’s easy to explore Budapest. Highly recommend for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and a homey vibe.
We recently stayed at this hotel and were absolutely delighted with the entire experience. From the moment we arrived, the welcome was exceptional—warm, professional, and instantly put us at ease. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable, with high-quality bedding that made for restful nights. All amenities were modern and well-maintained, reflecting a clear commitment to guest comfort. The service throughout our stay was outstanding—whether it was helpful travel tips or thoughtful little gestures, the team went above and beyond. A special shout-out to Andrew, whose local insights and friendly humor truly elevated our trip. He made every interaction enjoyable and memorable. Overall, this is a top-tier choice for a stress-free, enjoyable stay in Budapest. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality, warmth, and genuine hospitality.
The location in Budapest is fantastic—perfect for exploring the city—but the actual property didn’t live up to expectations. The photos online make it look bright and cheerful, but in reality, the rooms felt dark and cramped, especially with two extra beds squeezed into two of the bedrooms. We had to request additional pillows—one per person—since the standard offering was insufficient. The kettle in the adjacent apartment wasn’t working, which was frustrating when you’re looking to make a quick coffee. The hallway entrance was dim and looked poorly maintained, giving an unwelcoming first impression. It’s disappointing because the neighborhood is so convenient and central. While the location is a big plus, the overall condition and attention to detail leave much to be desired. For a place this close to everything, a little more care in upkeep and guest comfort would go a long way.
Booked last minute and couldn’t be happier with our choice of Loft Astoria. The location was unbeatable—right next to major bus and metro lines, making it super easy to explore the city. The view from the floor-to-ceiling windows was stunning, especially at night when we’d just sit and watch the vibrant city life unfold, sometimes staying up way past bedtime. There was a minor issue with self-check-in, but a quick call resolved it instantly—great support. The apartment was warm, spotlessly clean, and well-maintained throughout our stay. As someone who travels with my wife, I’ll admit I was a bit concerned about safety during late-night arrivals and departures, especially in unfamiliar areas. But the keypad entry system and secure internal doors gave us peace of mind. We felt safe not just in the unit, but also throughout our time in Budapest. If you’re looking to immerse yourself in the energy of the city while returning to a modern, clean, and secure home base, this is the perfect spot. We’ll definitely be back on our next visit—thank you for making our trip so memorable.
Staying at Central Capital Apartments was a mixed experience. The room lacked air conditioning, which made it quite uncomfortable during warmer evenings—especially since the building doesn’t have much ventilation. Check-in was frustrating; getting the key took longer than expected, and staff seemed unresponsive or unfriendly. Also, the property doesn’t have a standalone entrance—access is through a shared hallway, so if you’re expecting a clear, hotel-like front door, be prepared for something more like a residential apartment building. It’s located close to downtown Budapest, so public transport access is decent, but overall, the value-for-money just doesn’t stack up. Unless you're on a tight budget and have no other options, I wouldn’t recommend this place again.
Staying at the Actor Hotel Budapest was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center, with great access to public transit, restaurants, and local attractions. The room was cozy and thoughtfully designed, with a super comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. High-speed Wi-Fi worked flawlessly throughout our stay, which was a big plus for working remotely and streaming in comfort. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, friendly service—always smiling and ready to help. It's clear they take pride in creating a welcoming atmosphere. This hotel offers an excellent balance of charm, convenience, and value. I’d happily book here again on any future visit to Budapest.
Absolutely loved our stay at Leda Apartments! The location is perfect—right in the heart of Budapest and just a short walk from public transportation, making it super easy to explore the city. The apartment itself was spacious and ideal for a group of five: two bedrooms and a large living area that felt open and comfortable. Plus, there's a great little café just a 5-minute walk away offering high-quality breakfast options with generous portions. Everything about this choice was spot-on—we couldn’t have asked for more. Definitely a top pick for anyone visiting Budapest!
Staying at Ibis Budapest Castle Hill was an absolute highlight of my trip to Budapest. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Fisherman's Bastion and other top attractions, and the metro station is literally right around the corner, making it super easy to explore the city. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always with a smile. I appreciated how convenient it was to order food delivery straight to my room—affordable prices and great variety. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. For the price, this hotel offers excellent value. If you're visiting Budapest and want a central, hassle-free stay, this is definitely a top pick. Highly recommended!
Initially, I was misled by the Google Maps navigation since there were two similar locations listed. However, once I arrived, the hotel provided clear directions and made the check-in process smooth. The room was clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable—perfect for a business trip. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the location is ideal: just a short walk from the metro station, making it easy to get around Budapest. With its great value and convenient access, I’d definitely book here again if I’m back in the city for work.
